I have a form, with a submit button:
<% form_for(@personalentry) do |f| %>
<%= f.submit 'Create' %>
<% end %>
HTML Output
<form action="/personalentries" class="new_personalentry" id="new_personalentry" method="post">
<input id="personalentry_submit" name="commit" type="submit" value="Create" />
</form>
I want to add a second button, to do some other code not related to form submitting. So I did this:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addEndDateCalendar(){
alert("test");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/personalentries" class="new_personalentry" id="new_personalentry" method="post">
<button name="addEndDateButton" onClick="addEndDateCalendar()">End date?</button>
<input id="personalentry_submit" name="commit" type="submit" value="Create" />
</form>
</body>
When I click the button, the alert comes up, but then it runs the submit code. How can I make this second button not run the submit code after it runs its own code? Thanks for reading.
